Greg, WHY would you want the Fed to cut rates? QE and printing money via extreme low rates is the problem! It has ruined our USD, destroyed the middle class and perpetrated massive inflation and 33 trillion dollars of unsustainable debt. GREG PLEASE ANSWER DON'T EVADE THIS QUESTION. WHY?

I don't understand why you want the fed to cut rates? Isn't it easy/cheap money that got us where we are? Aren't 5%-6% rates is much more historically normal than 3%? Everyone has been spoiled for too long. Yes going back to reality will have some pain, I get that. (what am I missing?)

It won’t just be some pain, the entire system will collapse if they don’t cut

It’s not about that price discovery, it’s about the fact that the system will literally freeze and nothing will work. I’m ok with that-its gotta happen eventually. But many people will be in a world of trouble

It takes about 6 months to a year delay for the fed to see results of their rate move. 6 months out from now? 01 November 2024. Days away from Election/Selection in November . 12 months out is next May. The fed will not move rates. Too risky, unless they know who will be next president. Normally, trade markets are stable in a presidential election year.

Why don't you do a rain dance Greg? Maybe they'll intervene for you again. But, you fail to notice the little problem with the JPY. It's been a bit of a problem lately. You should look into it.

Greg what do you think of this hot mess?

"Congress passes bill that could unlock billions in frozen Russian assets for Ukraine

More than $6 billion of the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets are sitting in U.S. banks."

"Russia Asset Seizure Law Spurs Yellen Praise, Dollar Angst

Congress passed new seizure powers as part of Ukraine aid bill"
